What's better than hard money?
Private money, on autopilot.
You don't need a network of "rich friends." You don't have to spend months reaching out to JV partners who might flake at the last minute if a "better deal" comes along. And you don't have to pay exorbitant rates and points for hard money. There's a better way... private money through ZINC Financial.
Loan terms that work.
Up to 95% LTV + 100% rehab.
With ZINC, you can fund up to 95% of the LTV plus 100% of your rehab costs.

We've done 450+ of our own flips.
